Four of my reported issues were fixed in 12.3:

1. TStackPanel spacing property is not DPI scaled - RAD Studio Service - Jira Service Management
2. Unnecessary painting of styled scrollbars on mouse move - RAD Studio Service - Jira Service Management
3. Memory leak when you use Vcl.IMouse - RAD Studio Service - Jira Service Management
4. The Panning Window is not DPI scaled - RAD Studio Service - Jira Service Management

Four are still open.

To be fair, they are being very straightforward about it being a "version 1" release and it isn't even enabled by default.

 

Well sure. But isn't this pretty lame? Who does version 1 releases that don't work? They might be upfront about all of its deficiencies, but good developers produce software that works. 

 

We've all used VS and VSCode and PyCharm and so on, and they work and shine. And then 12 months passes, it's 2025, and Emba come out with 5000 bug fixes and a 64 bit IDE that doesn't work.

I wouldn't mind if they just released it as a technology preview (which is what it is) - on the side.

 

But then what is this release exactly? Sure there are a bunch of bug fixes but have we been paying maintenance all this time to just get a major release (and this is a major release regardless of their silly numbering scheme game) with nothing but fixes for bugs that we already worked around long ago?

 

Will we have to wait another year for something substantial? Two years? Maybe the roadmap can tell us - oh, wait; There's no roadmap, because stupid excuses that nobody ever believed anyway.

I asked my manager today if we shouldn't just cancel our Delphi maintenance and gamble on nothing of substance being released the next 3 years (which is the break-even point). The last time we did this (XE3-XE8) we saved a bunch and didn't miss a thing.

I went from XE7 to 11.something and only upgraded to get high DPI support which was worth it. Not sure what would get me excited from here. 

 

Probably would be copilot like goodness in the IDE.

I was considering using VSCode too and was wondering if you could tell more about the extensions that you use and your workflow ?

I've just created a new post with info that may be of interest, and hopefully others can add to it
